Dum Spiro Spero : While I breathe, I hope

Face to Face:
 
                              When I brought up the link to the website, I did not expect what I got. Hearing some of these stories is devastating. To imagine  all the hate some of these people receive is unbelievable to me. No one should ever feel alienated just because of their race. I know this stuff happens in day to day lives, but not in mine. The story that Satsuki Ina tells of waiting for the bus in the rain was awful. As the rain was pouring down, she decided to take a break and stand on a hooded porch area. A woman open her  window and yelled " Get off my porch, you dirty Jap." This really shocked me to the core. Sayema Hameed says " I felt fear for the first time in my life." She was to afraid to drive her car, to be alone, all because of racism.
These people were born and raised In America but instead they are treated like the enemy. All because of what? How they look, how they speak, so what they may be all of these things, Why should they be treated any different?
